Very cool! How have you done the full length mirror? Is that film over glass?

the raspberry will be running continuous until it will die i guess.
@cornusandu said in work in progress:
Any advice on raspberry power? Should I cut electricity 12 hours a night with a smart plug? Or run it 24/7? Which is better for longer life?
As everyone else said, leave it running, don’t cut the power without shutting the RasPi down safely first. Two advices I would give you:
- When everything is set up and running, and everytime you add a new feature/module, make an image of your sd card as backup!
- Think about a UPS, Uninterruptible Power Supply. There are some add ons that combine a batterie that provides power for a few minutes and a circuit that will detect the power outage and initiate a safe shutdown. And when the power goes back on, it will go back to normal.
I learned both the hard way, but I’m still not done finding/setting up a good UPS solution.

@doubleT thank you. UPS, I will have to shop around for something small and strong enough
